Welcome to the Blog
Well, since it's all the rave these days I just had to set up a blog. Actually I already have another one going at avalanche-blog.com where I post specifically about snow avalanche topics. This one will be for personal and varied use.At first I thought I'd use it for political commentary. Which I will, but there are other good uses too. And I'll set up different sections so it's easy to sort out different things. I think some will parallel the topics and organization of my personal website and others will fall outside that.
Two things I hope to use this for are keeping friends and family updated on what's going on in my life and summarizing website updates. This way they can read whatever interests them, and how ever much they want. I'm really too busy to do a lot of things I'd like to and unfortunately staying in touch with friends has fallen by the wayside in favor of efforts that have some chance of contributing to my economic survival. I also only get to work on my personal web site now and then so maybe I can use this blog to summarize changes now and then.
Of course the real question is whether I'll have time to blog at all or not. It's quite likely that I will post fairly often at times, interspersed with other long stretches of time when I'm just too busy. We'll see.
I'll make the next post about the Sections and update that as they evolve.
Comments on anything, or just quick greetings in passing, are welcome as comments. I think I've set it to require review of all comments before they appear, but I should get an email that something was submitted. I set this up and ignored it for quite a while only to discover that my test posts had thousands of comments promoting viagra, cheap university degrees, and other sundry items.
